Yesterday, U.S. Chamber's NCF aimed to offer the business community better insight into the impact of policies on their industries with their first quarterly economic briefing. Lead by U.S. Chamber's Chief Economist Dr. Martin Regalia, the briefing included a keynote economic update followed by a panel of chief economists representing crucial sectors of the economy.

The Wall Street Journal reported today that Dr. Regalia emphasized the role of ineffective federal policy as a contributing factor of the uncertainty that is holding businesses back from growing and hiring.

"'We've got an administration and a government that has injected more in the way of uncertainty -- uncertainty about what Washington will do to business next -- that has made them more hesitant than they would otherwise be in the economic environment,' Martin Regalia, the Chamber economist, said during an economic roundtable."


Do you agree? What do you think are the influences of our business uncertainty and slow economic recovery?
